So, as with every year, Christmas proves eventful.

My brother was on probation, and then got arrested for a drunk and disorderly, so while breaking his bond curfew on Friday, he got beaten up at a bar, so after I got back to my parent's place today after taking the bus, and then going to the zoo, I came home and cleaned his 43 stitches on his face and drained the infection under the skin on his nose. He's going to need plastic surgery. With any luck it won't be too bad.

Dinner was pretty good, and I got some presents from my family. I'll be off to visit Josh's family tomorrow.

Josh got me a picture, a Sims video game and a glow-in-the-dark puzzle.
My brother got me a book and a bath set.
My grandparents got me Marguerita glasses and mix, and a crockpot.
My mom got me a sweater, 6 Martini glasses, and a dirt devil floor sweeper.

I'm trying to figure out the message this is trying to send... you need to get drunk and keep a better home?

BTW Josh..I told them and they're happy for us.

Since you mentioned it; did you tell them anything you've already told us?

I told them hat Josh and I are engaged.

Apparently my grandmother will be delighted to hear this since she's doing her best to reserve judgement and comment on this entire shacking up together deal. Odd given the circumstances.

My parents aren't really sure what to do about him. Neither am I really, but my Mom feels guilty leaving him in the Don jail.Tough love? Let the system take care of it? Make sure he has a safe place to sleep every night?

How far can familial intervention get you?

He's still my brother in any case. You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family.
